See http://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/Small-Engine-Repair-Help?Whence=25. This site suggest you may be able to provide a better model number, which you could find using the link on the page (after which you'd then enter that number in the search field). If not, the second link under SMALL ENGINE PROBLEMS may solve. Good luck!
